Abstract:

This volume is devoted to the subjects "information structure" and
"contrast." The working hypothesis of this part of the project is that,
apart from the use of lexical indication, the expression of contrast vs.
correction is primarily carried by the intonation contour as a means for
indicating scope and focus in negating constructions. The papers in this
volume proceed from the premise that the information structure is preformed
conceptually, and on articulation in the dynamic context is then portioned
and linearized, mapped onto the syntactic representation via the semantic
representation, and finally realized intonationally. The findings are
partly based on neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic experiments.  

Anita Steube is Professor of General Linguistics at the University of Leipzig.
